DENVER, Colorado (AP) -- Home Depot was sued by a shopper from a Colorado store who claims he got stuck to a restroom toilet seat because a prankster had smeared it with glue.

Bob Dougherty, 57, accused employees of ignoring his cries for help for about 15 minutes because they thought he was kidding.

"They left me there, going through all that stress," Dougherty told The Daily Camera, of Boulder. "They just let me rot."

The lawsuit, filed Friday, said Dougherty was recovering from heart bypass surgery and thought he was having a heart attack when he got stuck at the store in Louisville, Colorado, on the day before Halloween 2003.

A store employee who heard him calling for help informed the head clerk by radio, but the head clerk "believed it to be a hoax," the lawsuit said.

Home Depot spokeswoman Kathryn Gallagher said she could not comment on pending litigation.

The lawsuit said store officials called for an ambulance after about 15 minutes.

Paramedics unbolted the toilet seat, and Dougherty, "frightened and humiliated," passed out as they wheeled him out of the store, court papers said. The toilet seat separated from his skin, leaving abrasions.

"This is not Home Depot's fault," Dougherty said. "But I am blaming them for letting me hang in there and just ignoring me.

Poor guy. I don't blame him for wanting to sue. Nor passing out for that matter.

This is a sham! This guy has tried this before. It's the old finger in the chili bit.

If that's true, then i hope is ass is raw.

That is what I was thinking as well. ;)

15 min and he was just left there to rot. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] He rots fast.

Just heard this on the news twice in one year. He is a hoax.

Now that's what I call a sticky situation!

This is ridiculous. What kind of moron doesn't wipe the toilet seat before sitting on it? He deserved to get stuck if he was that stupid.
